The incidence of gastric tube cancer (GTC) is increasing due to the improved prognosis of patients after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Total resection of the gastric tube is expected to be curative for patients with GTC. However, several studies have reported that this procedure is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. We here present a case of GTC without lymph node metastasis in a patient who underwent partial resection of a gastric tube via thoracoscopic-endoscopic cooperative surgery. No postoperative complications or recurrence was observed. This procedure is a favorable and minimally invasive procedure for GTC without lymph node metastasis.
